SCENES OF SPRING IN A BATH TOWELQin Wan’er was swift as wind and fast as lightning on the road. When she arrived at the scene, she only saw Xu Yun playing pool happily alone.
Seeing that Qin Wan’er had arrived, Xu Yun put the pool cue on his shoulder. “Wanna play? I have a nickname, called Little Rocket!”
“Less cr’p with me, n.o.body wants to bet with you!” Qin Wan’er looked all over the four corners. Not even a single gambling machine was seen. The feeling of being fooled began to grow in her.
Xu Yun put the pool cue on top of the table. He pointed at the southeast corner. “If you don’t believe me, go see yourself.”
Qin Wan’er scrunched her eyebrows. With a half-believing and half-disbelieving att.i.tude, she went to the southeast corner. In fact, she saw a hidden door!
Qin Wan’er was greatly surprised; her nerves instantly stiffened. She firmly pushed open the hidden door and step by step descended. After pushing open the secret door, inside was a brightly lit scene that completely shocked her!
Dozens of gambling machines, and 17 or 18 guys beaten swollen and senseless all over the place!
It really was a casino! Qin Wan’er internally screamed, this was the kind of excitement that wasn’t beneath Columbus discovering a new continent! The size of this casino in HeDong City was not considered small!
“How is it?” Xu Yun also went downstairs. “This much is about a 3rd-cla.s.s right?
Qin Wan’er didn’t dare to believe it. “How did you do it?”
“Wait, I’ll come back.” Xu Yun went to that room, then brought out Lu Bao who had drenched his pants. “This afternoon, the punk that robbed our panacea restaurant brought me here.”
Hearing that Qin Wan’er became even more surprised! Xu Yun actually caught that thief!?!
Lu Bao saw that the cops came and his face turned as white as ashes – this time he was screwed. Robbery, partic.i.p.ating in an illegal gambling ring, these two crimes were enough to lock him in jail for a while and he would be locked up with the Four Wolves Gang members. He was worried they really would completely destroy his chrysanthemum*…
*chrysanthemum is slang for b.u.t.thole
Xu Yun kicked Lu Bao. “What crying… go tell police officer jiejie about all the crimes you’ve all done.”
“Police officer jiejie! I…. I was forced by the Four Wolves Gang members!” Lu Bao wailed tragically.
If he had known earlier, how was he forced? Qin Wan’er didn’t have any patience in her expression, swinging a metal bar she yelled, “Shut up!!”
Lu Bao’s forehead had a bruise – forget crying, he didn’t dare to even fart half a fart.
“I’m going to call for backup, come with me to the station to write a statement.” Even though Qin Wan’er wasn’t entirely convinced, in the end Xu Yun did do enough for her admiration.
Xu Yun waved his hand, “Nah. Please no. I dislike inconveniences. Consider this casino a gift from me. If you want to give me something back, then let me skip that troublesome stuff. Well then, thank you.”
Qin Wan’er didn’t react the whole time. “What do you mean?”
“As I said… the Four Wolves Gang’s casino was shut down by you, the little thief was also captured by you.” Xu Yun smiled widely. “I’m just a citizen that cooperated with police, the stuff that happens after, I don’t want to partic.i.p.ate in. Too lazy to deal with it.”
“I’ve no desire for this credit!” Qin Wan’er glared at Xu Yun, then dialed her police phone, describing the location and rough situation. The station leadership placed great importance on it, instantly sending people to rush over!
After hanging up the phone, Qin Wan’er couldn’t find Xu Yun. “Xu Yun!!”
Right after her cell phone vibrated – Qin Wan’er received a text message from Xu Yun. “I left, the merit I beg you to take. Hope you get promoted.”
“Stinking Xu Yun!” Qin Wan’er groaned heavily.
No way would Xu Yun have energy to waste any more time at that illegal casino. Carrying the money, he went directly back to the panacea restaurant.
Just as Xu Yun reached the panacea restaurant’s first floor, Qiu Yan flashed, appearing once again in front of him.
“Thanks for the problem this afternoon.” Xu Yun definitely knew she was hidden somewhere nearby, so he wasn’t surprised. Getting straight to the point he said, “I can’t detect your hidden techniques at all, they are very formidable.”
Qiu Yan still remained completely cold. “What did you come back to do?”
“What, still afraid I would do something unfavorable towards GuoGuo?” Xu Yun switched over, raising his head towards the balcony he loudly called, “GuoGuo!”
Qiu Yan’s face instantly changed; just as GuoGuo went to the balcony, below in an instant, her figure dodged into a dark shadowy corner.
“Daddy?” GuoGuo was very surprised. “Why did you come back?”
“I caught the little thief, I brought the money back.” Xu Yun laughed towards the direction the beautiful shadow disappeared towards, proudly digging out the stack of money and raising it towards GuoGuo.
The second GuoGuo heard she became excited. “I’ll go down and open the door for you!”
From start to finish Ruan QingShuang didn’t show up. Xu Yun was a bit puzzled – ordinarily if GuoGuo hadn’t slept, she wouldn’t have gone to sleep already right?
After opening the door GuoGuo was unable to resist herself and s.n.a.t.c.hed the money from Xu Yun. “Did you bring it all back dad?”
“Mmm, there’s even interest.” Xu Yun smiled, “GuoGuo, where’s your mom?”
“Ah, mommy is taking a shower.” GuoGuo was preoccupied with her own stuff, her two hands whizzing speedily through the stack of money, her mouth counting, “100, 200, 300, 400” repeatedly.
An image of a bathing Ruan QingShuang came into Xu Yun’s mind, huuu… Xu Yun felt like his mind was swimming a bit, needing to hang in there. Having a b.l.o.o.d.y nose would make a fool of himself.
“Yup daddy, mommy just forgot her underwear. How about you help me bring it to her?” Amidst counting money GuoGuo didn’t forget to tell him. “4600, 4700…”
Poof! This time Xu Yun really couldn’t hold back! This was simply too stimulating right?! GuoGuo was worthy of being G.o.dfather’s good daughter! Didn’t take care of you for nothing!
Xu Yun petted GuoGuo’s little head. “GuoGuo is such a good girl. This stuff G.o.dfather won’t help you, wait for mommy to come out and you know to tell her. I’ll go home first.”
“9800, 9900, 10000! Huuuuu…” At this time GuoGuo finished counting the money and let out a sigh. “For this he doesn’t have a drop of bravery? Are you really GuoGuo’s G.o.dfather huh?”
What is a G.o.dfather? A father by kin is simply a father by kin, a G.o.dfather is simply a G.o.dfather. Xu Yun was getting confused by GuoGuo. “Of course.”
“Mommy! Come out quick!” GuoGuo suddenly charged to the stairs and shouted.
After rinsing, Ruan QingShuang slowly wiped her body of water drops, then waited for GuoGuo to come and bring pajamas. But this little girl instead was late and unwilling, why did she suddenly yell from downstairs?
Her heart jumped, and couldn’t be bothered with wearing some clothes. Wrapping a bath towel around her and tying a quick knot, she opened the door and *~thumpthumpthump thumped* down the stairs.
“GuoGuo what happened?!” Ruan QingShuang part asked and part dashed down the stairs.
“Daddy came.” GuoGuo said casually.
Ruan QingShuang had just charged down the stairs. Abruptly lifting her head, Xu Yun and GuoGuo were standing at the beginning of the stairs, faces looking up towards her.
With an “ah”, Xu Yun dared to laugh. He never thought Ruan QingShuang would come out with that outfit.
“Mommy, be careful not to expose yourself. ” GuoGuo’s small hands covered her face.
With great difficulty Ruan QingShuang suppressed a scream that would lose her voice. She turned her head and ran back up the stairs! Her entire face blushed deep red, truly like a baboon’s b.u.t.t…
“Daddy, did you see it?” GuoGuo nervously asked.
Thinking, Xu Yun didn’t recall and shook his head. “Nope, I didn’t see anything.”
“The bath towel was so high and you didn’t see? Daddy you must have a high degree of near-sightedness right?” GuoGuo seemed very disappointed. “Well, GuoGuo saw it, mommy was too careless.”
Dammit! If it didn’t seem like you had been kidnapped, charging up the stairs howling, would your Ruan mama have panicked enough to run out without wearing underwear?
Xu Yun could be considered completely defeated by this little thing. “Ugh…… my myopia….”
……
Ruan QingShuang again came out, this time fully dressed. With extreme effort she recovered her cool. “Xu Yun, why did you come?”
“The money was stolen by Lu Bao, I’m returning it back to you. Also he was arrested by Qin Wan’er.” Xu Yun said, “I’m guessing that from now on he definitely won’t come back to hara.s.s you.”
“10,000 bucks oh!” GuoGuo proudly said.
Ruan QingShuang was amazed, opening her small red lips. “Really? But he didn’t steal that much.”
Xu Yun laughed softly. “Just consider the extra as interest that he’s giving you. For that kind of person, that much is him shorting you.”
“Yeah exactly!” GuoGuo hated Lu Bao quite a bit.
“If there’s no problems then I won’t disturb your rest anymore.” Xu Yun said, “Tomorrow you have to get up early, rest earlier alright.”
GuoGuo peered at Xu Yun, and then glanced at Ruan QingShuang, expecting her mom to open her mouth asking him to stay. She actually liked Xu Yun bothering her, because Xu Yun would always bring something good.
But Ruan QingShuang hadn’t quite adjusted from the previous situation, in that time she didn’t know what to say. “Then take care…. be careful on the road.”
“Go on back, I can help you lock the door.”
Only after Xu Yun helped Ruan QingShuang lock the door tight did he start humming a tune as he went to a little alley beside the panacea restaurant.
Swoosh!
A soft arrow stopped on his chest, thankfully Xu Yun was prepared. Quickly pulling back a step he avoided being injured.
“Was that saying h.e.l.lo?” Xu Yun remained silent, but across from him was Qiu Yan. There was no way she would be gentle and nice.
Qiu Yan put away the Dragon Abyssal blade in her hands, the supple blade silently vanishing at her waist.
“Are you that scared to see GuoGuo?” Xu Yun’s mouth was raised and he chuckled. He knew – Qiu Yan was afraid that she couldn’t heal from her internal injuries. Even if she saw GuoGuo, it would only increase her suffering, and without any real significance.
Qiu Yan knew that no matter what she did, she would still die, so she preferred that GuoGuo think that she died long ago. She didn’t want GuoGuo to see her again, only to lose her again. Then the pain for GuoGuo would be even greater.
“I don’t need you to mind my business.” Just as always, Qiu Yan’s voice was as cold as ice, only in her eyes there was an extra hint of sadness. “If I die, I hope… that you can help me take care of GuoGuo.”
“I am ‘the’ G.o.dfather of GuoGuo.” Xu Yun smiled his eyes tiny. “Concerning that you can rest a.s.sured.”
“Hmph.” The sound that Qiu Yan made was indistinguishably either rea.s.sured or disdainful, or perhaps even mocking herself.
Suddenly, Qiu Yan wordlessly jumped, leaping directly on the roof of the panacea restaurant. With some precise steps, she effortlessly crossed several hundred meters to a small hotel’s roof. With a flash she disappeared through the hotel’s third floor veranda window.
